Is there a way of getting rsync to just list what it would do without doing anything? Failing that is there any other way to get a list of changes between two trees of files where one of them is remote?
Does the --dry-run option + suitable 'how to determine what is different' options not give you what you want? I assume from what you wrote below that the video files are going to be either added or deleted and not changed, so you can probably just compare dates and presence. James
I've got an archive of 30G+ of video files that needs to be synchronised occasionally with a system that has limited quota. I want to get a list of new/changed files that I can pass as parameters to tar and then take a tar file on a USB stick with the new files.
I know I could run "find ." on both sides and then compare the output files, but I'd prefer something less hacky if possible.
